Krayzie is just the best damn rapper around. I don't care what anybody says or who else they praise. I'm sure a lot of Bizzy Bone fans will disagree, but much of the time what is Bizzy saying? And why is he still calling himself Bone after he left BTNH to do his so called spiritual soul searching where he'd go from praising God, to Ala, to Jesus? Anyway, Krayzie Bone knows how to make good hip-hop/rap/blues/club music that tells a great story which can be understood by practically anybody. The previous release of The Fixtape on the internet held a couple songs which I would've liked to have seen make it to this retail release such as "They Don't Want None ft Eazy-E" and "You B!tch", but Krayzie was kind enough to replace them with equally good substitute tracks like "We Asn't Really Living", "We Still Here", and "Aint Nuthin Changed". This is surely a great CD to have in your collection for all Krayzie, Bone Thug, and rap fans.

This mixtape has got to be the best mixtape album from any bone member. Krayzie picked perfect beats that flow with his delivery and he turned them all into his own. I remember when Bone came out with E. 1999 Eternal and The Art of War, there was discussions of who was better: Bizzy or Krayzie. I thought I could never make that decision because they both brought the heat and their lyrics where on point. This mixtape not only showed me that Krayzie Bone is the best out of the group, but he is also in my top 10 best rappers list. His breath control, lyrics, and content are consistent with every album, mixtape or song that he puts out. You can tell by the way he raps that he wants to put out quality music, even on a mixtape. I still got love for all of them and I still buy any album any Bone member puts out, but if I had to chose, Krayzie Jackson would be at the top of the list as the best hands down. This mixtape is a classic and should be in everyone's music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Classic, April 4, 2008

This album is simply phenomenal. Though an "underground" release, this is th best Krayzie Bone solo since Thug Mentality 1999. Exhibiting here what could be described as a matured flow and subject matter, the past fantasy-like "runnin' with the AK-47, murda mo" rhymes have been replaced with more of the social subject matter that makes people relate to the music. It's also important to state that this album's 17 tracks can be played from beginning to end without skipping a single track, which is extremely rare in this day and age. Krayzie has borrowed beats from popular songs released by other artists several times in the album, and flipped them into something of what a music fan's dreams are made of. This album shows that Krayzie Bone is similar to Prince in his level of creativity. As stated before every track is quality, but I will list several extreme standouts: The tracks "Stay Down", "Can't Get Out The Game", and "We Ain't Really Living" are social commentaries that are reminiscent of a rapping Marvin Gaye. On "Maybe It's Me" Krayzie flips Beyonce's instrumental to "Irreplaceable" in an unexpected direction. The tracks "Sweet Jane" and "Mary, Mary" are love songs that would make you think of a member of Jodeci or Jagged Edge fessing their love for a woman. If I could give this album 6 stars, I would. I cannot recommend this album enough for every Bone fan, and more over, simply any fan of great music.
